Making a New Year's decor for the house is a very pleasant and joyful process. Put in it your love for close people and feel how everyone around you becomes kinder. To make a wreath of cones, we need the following materials:

• Plastic red balls of different sizes, large decorative snowflakes, ribbons and beads.
• Fir cones.
• Walnuts and walnuts, hips.
• Water-based matte paint.
• Scissors.
• Glue gun.

We make the basis

To begin with, we decide how large a wreath of cones will be. To make the decoration look harmonious, multiply the size of the inner diameter by 1.6 and get the size of the outside. When the calculations are done, cut out the round blank from the cardboard. To give the future wreath volume, we take the paper and crush it with our hands. Apply the resulting bundle to the cardboard ring and attach it around the circle with an adhesive tape. Cut off all unnecessary scissors. Some masters prefer to use a base of twigs or twigs, which are connected by twine and twisted into a ring.

Fix spruce branches

If you want your crown of cones to please you until the spring, then use for its design the twigs of Nobles (this is a sort of spruce). Otherwise, the Christmas decoration will very soon lose its beautiful appearance, and you will have to constantly remove the crumbling needles. If you do not find the right flower material in the nearest flower shop, do not be discouraged. It can be replaced with bulk tinsel, which is sold in any supermarket. So, with the help of a glue gun attach the branches to the base. Also you can use the staples or the whip - if you do everything neatly, then the appearance will not be affected at all.

• With the help of small red balls (you can use fillers for gifts) and thin wooden sticks, you make an imitation of the branches of the x-axis. We supplement them with our composition.
• We paint nuts with white paint in two layers and glue them to the branches.
• The hips are glued together so that small bunches are obtained, and place them next to the balls.
• Spruce bumps clean and paint their tips in white - it should seem that they are powdered with snow. Using hot glue we attach them to the wreath in any order.

We take beautiful ribbons of white and red color, wrap the branches around them and finish the work. Such a wreath of cones and spruce branches will look great on the doors of your house. And you can also take a large candle in a white-white color, put it in the center of the circle and decorate the resulting holiday table with the composition.
